The Last Legion, while criticized for its historical inaccuracies and underwhelming script, offers a fun blend of action and adventure. The performances, particularly from the leads, are strong, though the narrative does feel rushed and the special effects dated. The film is a visually appealing though flawed attempt to link Roman history with Arthurian legends.
